- I have been working with a young man who is autistic but has an interest in
- searching for prime numbers. Thus far, he has used ordinary calculators,
- and when he visits my office uses some simple programs written in C.
-
- I've gotten hold of a 386 with 1 meg ram and a 40 meg hard drive which
- a friend has now donated to the halfway house where he lives, for his
- use, but it has no software on it yet. If anyone has an old unused
- copy of either C or Pascal, DOS based, whose license could be
- transferred so he could use it, please let me know. A DOS-based
- spreadsheet would also be useful, and very much appreciated.
-
- If you can help, please reply to me by email, since I don't generally
- frequent this group.
